The gun grabbers are going to come after internet sales of ammo. They’ve already dabbled in this area with the aborted attempt by the EPA to ban lead ammo, and with the unbelievably large purchases of ammo by the government that have so severely limited the supply to civilians. An outright ban of ammo sales over the internet will be the next step - they’ll make it require an FFL to sell in quantities larger than 50 rounds.

Hell, I’ve got that many rounds of ammo (and more) for my old Mosin-Nagant, simply because I picked up 10 cases of ammo for a song at a estate auction (8800 rounds. Cost me 35 bucks. . . ) And 3 more rifles for 100. . .

Well, you’ve introduced the “odd behavior” additional factor, but 6000 rounds is not much at all and many recreational shooters will have that and more. Depending on the caliber, it may not even take up much space. See the attached link for a 5,000 round brick:

This is funny. FReepers are all panicked because they think the left is making this about "gun control", and so what do they do? Make every thread about "gun control", seeing in every sentence and hearing in every utterance subliminal "gun control" brainwashing.

If there were a larger story - and there is - it goes unnoticed. Until Rush tells them what it is.

The press keeps using the 6000 figure so they can make it sound like he had that much ammo on him when he attacked those people. Makes the story sound more dramatic. But in reality the most he had on him for the AR 15 was a 100 round drum. Just like everything is an AK 47 or an Assault weapon, the fact's in these stories are all agenda driven. Any one who has ever humped a rifle and pack in full body armor will tell you that ammo is heavy.

I agree,,,, I think there were others involved. He rigged his stereo with a timer to start blasting music at the same time he made his assault. Figured someone would open the unlocked door, and trip off all the explosives, destroying all evidence. Thank God that didn’t happen!

That was my attempt at being sarcastic. Anytime a weapon is used to commit a crime, the media will always try to give people the impression that only the military has a legitimate use for high-capacity, high-powered, type weapons, especially if it’s a AR or AK type variant.

I know. What really frosts me is the so-called media puke “experts” — by their own admission — bloviating about a subject with which they know nothing. If these “journalists” reported sports (or the obits) as well as they report on crime and guns, their editors would have them reassigned to counting palm trees in Thule, Greenland.
